Family friend Nina Vance was severely shaken to learn Carl did not make it.

“Very, very surprising, said Vance. “Very surprising. To know that someone that touched a lot of hearts. It was very shocking and very surprising.”

Vance said Carl moved to Indianapolis from Flint, Michigan to find a safer city, to get a better job, and to spend time with his son.

“It is going to be hard,” said Vance. “His son is only four, but he is going to know that his dad is not here, because he is very smart for four years old. Those two were as thick as thieves together.”

“It is a tragedy,” said Vance. “Whoever did this just does not realize the damage they have done, and they have done damage to a lot of people.”
